Verse# 1
E                         B7
All that trouble all that grief
      A                  E
That's why I had to leave
                F#7           B7
Staying away too long is in defeat
        E            B7
Why I'm Singing this song
      A               E
Why I'm Heading Back home
                      B7              E
That's what makes the Irish heart beat
Verse# 2
I'm just like a hobo riding a train
I'm like a gangster living in Spain
Have to watch my back and I'm
running out of time
when I roll the dice again
If lady luck will call my name
that's what makes the 
Irish heart beat
Bridge:
          A
Well that's what makes it beat
        E
when I'm standing on the street
                         F#7
and I'm standing underneath
               B7
this Wrigley's sign
    E               B7
Oh so far away from home
     A                 E
but I know I've got to roam
E
that's what makes the
B7             E
Irish heart beat
Solo:  verse chords
Bridge:
And it was off to foreign climbs
on the Piccadilly line
we where standing underneath
the Wrigley's sign
so far away from home
but know I've got roam
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat
Verse# 3
Just like a sailor out on the foam
any port in a storm
where we tend to burn the candle
at both ends
Down the corridors of fame
like the spark ignites the flame
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat
But I roll the dice again
If lady luck will call my name
that's what makes the
Irish heart beat
Oh that's what make the
Irish heart beat
E
That's what makes the
B7        A      E
                     End
Irish heart beat
